Angels 25 Man Roster Company
As Spring Training draws to a close the 25 man roster is beginning to take more shape. Jason Isringhausen's up, Mike Trout's down and Bobby Abreu is? Well? Ummm? Now that is the uncomfortable question of the Spring, now isn't it?
Mike Trout, to the surprise of many is headed back down to the AAA for the time being. When Spring Training began, I had hoped for a different outcome. My current dream Angels outfield has Trout and Peter Bourjos in it together. But Mike Trout missed most of Spring Training and was not his normal self for the rest of it following a nasty bout with the flu that to all reports left him physically drained and 15 pounds lighter. Go figure – getting the flu isn't any easier or more fun when you're a professional athlete. So, as much as I'd like to see Trout up with the major league club this season, I can't argue with the idea of leaving him in AAA to heal up and get back into the swing of things. He is only 20 years old after all. No need to rush these things and, besides, I can't imagine the Angels waiting all the way until September call ups to bring him back up again.
And it looks like the Angels' bullpen certainly will not lack for a veteran presence in 2012. The team welcomed Jason Isringhausen to the 25 man roster this week. Do I love the move? Do I hate it? Eh, with Michael Kohn and Bobby Cassevah sidelined with injuries right now, we have the room. I'll reserve love it or hate it judgment until we see which era of his considerable experience Isringhausen is channeling this season, a good year, or?? Yeah.
Which brings us to Bobby. Bobby. Bobby, baby. Bobby, bubbi. Angel, I've got something to tell you… I detested Company, actually, but lately that snippet of recurring refrain keeps popping into my head every time Abreu's name comes up in the news and I think it's because, like the character in the play, there is a big obvious change that needs to happen in his life that he is fighting tooth and nail…to the annoyance of everyone.
As for Company, I might have liked it better if I hadn't sat through six performances of it in one week, all of them featuring two roles so badly overacted that they unintentionally over emphasized the terribly self absorbed nature of so many of the characters. What can I say, too many friends in the Spring main stage that year, too many more friends who hadn't seen them do their thing yet and way too many, impossible to politely turn down comped tickets. Ah, college!
As for Bobby, I know I'd like the situation better if he were accepting it with a little more grace. He is not an everyday player anymore, not in the field anyway. Whenever we put him out there for any length of time, it goes badly. While I am really sorry to say it, he just plain can't move the way he used to in the outfield – even though, surprisingly, he can on the base paths and that is a joy and a half to watch – and when he gets frustrated by this, he throws the ball away once or twice a game. I get it in the sense that I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be for a player of his former caliber with his career stats to have his body missing what his mind and instincts are so strongly willing it to do by just that much. And when Bobby isn't playing in the field every day, his mighty bat gets pretty darned quiet which does mean there isn't a whole lot of workable room on the roster for him.
The comments Bobby made to the Venezuelan press about doubting Mike Scioscia's word that he would see 400 at bats in 2012 were inappropriate no matter when he made them…but they weren't incorrect. Unless something radical happens to the roster and Bobby improves at the plate, I don't see him getting those at bats either. So Bobby's here but, if our big bat, good clubhouse guy, occasional right fielder can't play right field, isn't doing so hot at the plate and is no longer a good clubhouse guy over the whole thing, I think it would be best for all concerned, including Bobby, if he were not here anymore. It's too bad that contract makes him so hard to move – thanks Tony! And even with the pissy attitude of late, I hate writing that. Bobby was great for the Phillies, great for the Yankees and one of my favorite players to watch on the Angels in his first year and change with the team. Like I said at the beginning, very uncomfortable all around.
Angels Sweep the Nationals, Presidents' Race and All
The Angels swept the Nationals and, oh yeah, we went to a baseball game on Monday! Work has been plentiful, all consuming, fun and, occasionally, FUn this week – I came home from Monday's game and moved a project along until 2am, that kind of fun. Between that and the games I suddenly looked up, it's Thursday already and I haven't posted my photos. Oh well…
Our seats for Monday night's game were just to the foul side of the foul pole down the first base line, in the second row. Prime visitor's section this. And, indeed, we set in front of and behind two families of Nationals fans vacationing in Los Angeles and next to a Phillies fan and his young daughters who were here on one of the middle stops of a larger baseball tour vacation. They had just come from Seattle and were headed out to Arizona then Texas. So jealous! When everyone has the right attitude, visiting fans can be a kick to enjoy the game with and all parties involved in this particular case were really nice and a lot of fun to chat/snark with.
Bobby Abreu leads off of second. Being on the field level, these seats were excellent for catching glimpses of personality on the field, some of which I got on camera. As you can see, Bobby is a talker on the base paths, especially at second base. He always wears a huge smile and gestures broadly with his hands so it is unclear for the most part if he's goofing around, talking trash, just shooting the breeze or what. Probably a little of columns A, B and C. What little I catch of it on TV is pretty darned funny…and of course he has 13 stolen bases (not bad for one of the few ballplayers left who are older than me :)) so perhaps this is all part of his strategy. Get 'em laughing, then break for third?
Vernon Wells at bat. These seats were not, however, the best for views or photos of the plate. The first base umpire is always in the way. That's okay. Ssometimes I enjoy having a closer vantage of the outfield and plays at second. Wells is continuing to heat up in June. He hit a single this at bat, which eventually lead to a run and then went four for five on Tuesday with a crucial two-run homerun. And Angels fans are starting to respond. Both developments are very welcome indeed.
Catcher Bobby Wilson and Pitching Coach Mike Butcher meet with Ervin Santana on the mound. Santana got off to an uneven start, giving up homeruns in the 2nd and 4th, but settled into a good rhythm after that. He lasted eight innings and on the Angels, starters don't pitch in the 9th inning unless they're pitching a shutout or something equally spectacular, so that's pretty darned good.
Just a random shot of the Angels bullpens. The bullpens at the Big A are terraced, which is a little unusual. The Angels bullpen on the lowest "step" in the front. And if you look at the photo you can see the Nationals in the visitor's bullpen one step up and behind the home bullpen. Starting another "step" above the visitor's bullpen you have the Left Field Pavilion seats. In this bullpen shot you can see Angels relievers Michael Kohn (standing up), Fernando Rodney, Hisanori Takashi's translator, Hisanori Takashi and Jordan Walden kneeling down and…what? Praying? Vomiting? Spitting sunflower seeds? Catching a few ZZZs? Probably the real answer isn't nearly as funny so I'm going to go with one of mine.
The Nationals brought the Racing Presidents with them to Anaheim for the series. So was this a) an incredibly stupid idea, b) a fine example of Interleague sharing of baseball cultures and traditions, or c) I really hate Interleague and fail to see how these two comments are mutually exclusive? You make the call. I initially thought the idea was kind of dumb, only because this is the Nationals' tradition and it's the Angels ballpark. But it was kind of fun to see and it provided a between innings icebreaker with the Nationals fans around us. I took the opportunity to ask, so, what's the deal with Teddy? He's really never won? I mostly knew the answer, but it was fun hearing all about the goofy, fun tradition from fans. We'd been talking a little between innings before that, but talked a lot more often after: relievers we love/who make us cringe, hitters who are starting to do better than their batting average indicates, overinflated contracts…it turns out Angels fans and Nationals fans have a frightening amount in common.
Nationals Catcher Wilson Ramos and Pitching Coach Steve McCatty meet with Pitcher John Lannan on the mound. All was going well for Lannan and the game was tied 2 to 2 until the Angels started hitting in the 6th. The Angels scored their third run shortly after this meeting and then Lannan was pulled. I love the photo because of the facial expressions and body language. I can only imagine the conversation that went with it. McCatty: Alright then, how are we going to get out of this? Lannan: Well, gee I don't know Coach. I thought maybe I'd throw some strikes and get him out.
Mark Trumbo grows impatient during the meeting on the mound – again, with being able to catch glimpses of personality from these seats. Mark Trumbo is usually as professional in demeanor as a veteran so I was amused to see him visibly impatient at another break in this already lengthy at bat, with his cheeks puffed out like an exasperated little kid. Very cute actually. He ground into a double play this at bat, but was pretty solid at the plate this series. His average is creeping back up again and he is the American League's rookie homerun leader with 13. Coincidentally, the Nationals' Danny Espinosa is the Rookie Major League homerun leader.
The Nationals outfielders, Roger Bernardina, Laynce Nix and Jayson Werth meet during the subsequent pitching change. 'Damn Werth, you have lots of friends over here too. You're a real popular guy in Anaheim.' Suffice to say, Angels fans were heckling Werth all night, which isn't surprising. There are a few folks I see regularly in this section and the left most corner of the right field MVP section (Season ticket holders? Maybe, maybe not.) who heckle pretty much everyone, occasionally even our own players. Whether or not that was the topic of the outfielders' conversation, I'm sure Werth is used to it by now.
Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells joke after Peter snags a fly ball to end the inning. The outfield chemistry is shaping up much better as the months role by. This is very helpful, especially with various assorted centerfielders, corner outfielders turned DH and the occasional second baseman flopping roles in the outfield on a regular basis to accommodate injuries, Interleague and random acts of lineup juggling.
Yes that is Torii Hunter right in front of me in right field. The news report prior to Monday's game was that Torii took batting and fielding practice Monday and looked good enough to return soon, possibly as soon a Wednesday. Imagine our delight when they brought him in as an unexpected substitution in the top of the 8th inning. The whole crowd erupted and we went especially crazy in the seats around right field with our welcome backs.
Jorda Walden takes the mound in the 9th. Unfortunately this would prove to be another blown save for Walden, his third in a row, when he gave up a two-out homerun to Danny Espinosa. The young Nationals fan in front of us turned around and informed me "Blown Save". Thanks kid, I kind of figured that one out on my own. No liner notes needed. So, am I worried about Walden? No. Not at all. When I started advocating making the rookie our closer, I knew there would be some growing pains. This is a kid who had every intention of being a starter and never thought about the closer's role until it turned out he had quite the aptitude for it this season. So far, he has 18 saves (including last night's) which is respectable. And when he does blow it, instead of crumbling, Walden is right back in the game to get the next batter. Monday night when he gave up the homerun, he threw the next pitch for a called strike and then coaxed the batter into a ground out to end the inning. And he was right back in the game on Wednesday night with a 1-0 lead on the line and got the save. That says something to me. We will probably witness a few more growing pains this season, but I have no doubts that Jordan Walden is our closer.
Scott Downs pitches in the 10th as Howie Kendrick (who moved to first base in the 8th when Torii came in to the game) moves into position. I mentioned we were chatting about relievers with the Nationals fans? Well, Scott Downs is one of the few I never worry about. When I look over to the bullpen and see Downs warming up, with that distinctive haircut easily identifiable across the field, I breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, he has an off outing here and there, but by and large he comes in and gets it done and he has five wins for the season, as many as some teams' starters, to prove it. Monday night and the rest of the Nationals series was no exception.
Brian Bixler stands on second flanked by second baseman Maicer Izturis and third baseman Alberto Callaspo. Bixler reached 2nd on an uncharacteristic fielding error by Maicer. There were an annoying number of Angels fielding errors this series actually, but we recovered from all of them to sweep. I hope the errors are more an indication of tiredness from the epic Four Corners Road Trip than anything more trend setting, shall we say.
Peter Bourjos takes a long lead off third. I think it is safe to say that Bourjos has worked through his slump at the plate. He went four for five on Monday with one RBI and was a crucial component of the 10th inning rally, knocking a ground rules double into the stands mere feet from my seat, that put Callaspo in scoring position for Maicer Izturis' walk-off single. Yes, when that happened I tapped the young Nationals fan in front of us on the shoulder and informed him "Walk off." Fair's fair right? Acutally, everyone was laughing both over the "Blown Save" and the "Walk Off."
A Tale of Two Wins – Angels vs. Blue Jays
I'll spare you the unnecessary Dickens parody. Suffice to say this weekend's games against the Blue Jays were two very different wins for the Angels, one ugly but ultimately effective and the other, as pretty a pitching clinic as one could ask for.
Saturday's game was quite the weird one. When I spoke longingly of single admission double headers a post or two ago, this is not quite what I had in mind. Matt Palmer had a rough start and wasn't quite able to complete five innings. This is a shame. I really wanted to see him prove himself. Then we proceeded to work through all seven pitchers in the bullpen with mixed results before Dan Haren – yes, that Dan Haren, from the starting rotation – finished the game and earned the win in the 14th inning. Can I just say, this is why I adore Dan Haren. He's old school, stepping in to do whatever the team needs when the team needs it. I believe he would still make his start tomorrow if the team let him…and I wish they would. Early pitching woes aside, this game was a great battle of the bats for four innings – we were up, then the Jays and so on. Then the runs dried up and hijinks ensued for the remaining ten innings as bad base running, walked batters, butterfingered position players, outright errors and stranded runners abounded on both sides.
There were good plays too, successful pick offs from Jeff Mathis and Rich Thompson, an out at home plate, etc… But the weird overshadowed the good in my opinion and I do not share the announcers' enthusiasm for the bullpen's performance in this game. Yes, they were troopers and prevented runs from scoring for 10 innings, which is no slouch, but they did it with too many walks, too many instances of bases loaded and too many innings that barely ended in disaster. They pulled it off, which is an improvement, but they way they pulled it off makes me question their ability to pull holds and saves off in the future. In the end, the Angels prevailed because of a, shall we say, questionable yet favorable runner's interference call that prevented the Jays from scoring in the 13th, two timely hits in the 14th and the fact the Peter Bourjos is lightening fast. Bourjos hit a two-out double and Maicer Izturis brought him home with single. But it was Bourjos' amazing speed, beating out Juan Bautista's strong, quick throw to the plate by centimeters that really won the game. There is a reason this play was number 9 on MLB's plays of the week this evening.
Sunday's game, on the other hand, was fantastic. Jered Weaver pitched a gem of a start, beating his own single game strikeout record of 12 Ks with 15 Ks in seven and 2/3rds innings. He even managed a pickoff at first base, unusual for Weaver whose long limbs and cross body delivery don't always lend themselves to catching the runner off the bag. It was truly a commanding performance all around and just what the bullpen, completely wiped out from the previous evening's 14 inning marathon game, needed. Hisanori Takehashi came in to get the crucial last out in the 8th inning and Fernando Rodney, closer by default based on the number of pitches he and the other bullpen pitchers threw yesterday, looked like a closer today: three batters, 12 pitches, three outs and done. I am loathe to trust him again, but must give credit where credit is due. He looked good today. Unlike so many of Weaver's starts last season, he had run support this game, including a Peter Bourjos two RBI triple in the 4th inning. I actually think that for most batters, this would only have been a double and that Mark Trumbo might have stuck around at third if Bourjos wasn't on the verge of lapping him, so once again Fleet Pete makes quite the impact.
Any Angels win is a good day in my book, but I really hope to see more like Sunday's this season than Saturday's if at all possible. Of course, if winning this season winds up meaning a lot of 14th inning stretches, I'd rather sing extra Take Me Out to the Ballgames than the alternative. Saturday's abuse of the bullpen (Of? By? Little of column A, little of column B?) has already had a huge impact on the 25-man roster. The Angels optioned Michael Kohn and Kevin Jepson down to the Salt Lake City Bees, activated Scott Downs from the DL and brought youngster Tyler Chatwood up from the Bees. The 22-year old Chatwood, another one of the local prospects the Angels like to recruit, is supposed to get his first major league start against the Indians on Monday in order to give Haren an extra day's rest. I am interested to see how this turns out. I saw flashes of brilliance in Chatwood during Spring Training but also the need for a lot more work. Of course, this means I will get see Haren, one of my two favorite pitchers, start on Tuesday when Seth and I have tickets to the game again…assuming the Angels can wrap up Monday in a mere nine innings and he doesn't close again, of course. ;)
New Closer, Move Down + Angels Win!
It will be fun going to the Big A on Friday for the Angels Home Opening Day for all of the obvious reasons, but now I have an additional one. I can't wait to talk closers with Barbara, whom I doubt I am alone in calling my favorite usher. A diehard Angels fan, Barbara is kind of our den mother in the Right Field Pavilion, smiling, chatting baseball and shaming drunken idiots into behaving themselves as needed to ensure a good game for all. We hashed out all the problems of the bullpen and our closing situation many times over the course of the season and, of course, like armchair managers everywhere, we had all of the answers. And both of us wanted the Angels to just bring Jordan Walden in to close already. I imagine she is as thrilled with today's news as I am.
That's right, it's official. Mike Scioscia told reporters today that Jordan Walden is the Angels closer while Fernando Rodney works out his issues. This is an open ended decision. If Rodney recovers, he might join the regular bullpen or he might resume his closer role. If Walden seizes this opening and runs with it like I believe he can, he may be the Angels closer for the rest of the season. Quite possibly because the 23 year old Walden does not look old enough to convincingly order champagne ;) – even with the beard – he instead celebrated his new role this evening by retiring the side in the 9th inning to cement the Angels 5 – 3 victory over the Rays. Good show, Jordan. I raise my glass to you.
I am a realist. I know this is a lot of responsibility to put on a 23 year old arm and psyche and I am sure there will be rough outings here and there. But, so far, the kid does extremely well under pressure and between last season, spring training and this week, Rodney was getting to the point where he walked batters every appearance, increasingly with disastrous results. As long as the quality outings are in the majority, we're significantly ahead of where we were this weekend. If Rodney recovers, the Angels can find any one of a number of uses for him. If he doesn't, better to eat his check then deal with the blown saves. Seriously.
As for the rest of this evening's game? (Okay, it was an evening game for us. If we want to actually watch the east coast games, we have to DVR them and watch them when we get home from work.) The bullpen still needs some calming down. Mr. Kohn, please settle down. You are often amazing but enough with giving up the homeruns already. It is anxiety inducing, not to mention letting my geek show just a little too much, to be shouting "Khaaaaaaaaaan!" loudly enough for my neighbors to hear so many days in a week. Other than that, it was a great game. Jered Weaver pitched a good one – 6 strikeouts over seven innings. Three walks though, which is unusual but didn't cost us too badly in the end. There's a reason we have phrases like mid-season form. He's getting there.
Young catcher Hank Conger got the start and his first major league homerun. Howie Kendrick continued his hot bat streak and we're scoring runs early, something we failed to do most of last season. Four stolen bases, a couple of great fielding plays, oh, and the season is now official – we had one truly terrible umpire call. Maicer Izturis made a diving catch and clearly caught the ball but the second base ump ruled that the ball hit the ground first. It was annoying, but ultimately didn't cost us anything. In those situations (where it doesn't cost anything), it's actually funny to watch Scioscia's usually impassive face become extremely animated and expressive. My husband and I frequently make humorous suggestions as to what Scioscia and the umpire might be saying to one another. Although, in this case, you could read Scioscia's lips loud and clear several times.
We need less excitement from the bullpen. We need to start scoring runs in the middle of the game too. We have improved but still need to do better with runners in scoring position. We need to do something about Scott Kazmir. But, hey, we won. We have a fix in place for the closer situation. We have Scott Downs coming off the DL any day now. We're hitting and we're working on those other issues. Optimism, returning. What a difference a win makes but, more importantly, what a difference a closer going one, two, three makes.

I really like it. The smaller type is a bit too small IMO, but overall it's nicely done. As gtobbs pointed out, I like the "M" integrated into the fork - clever.

Nice Job! I love the font, colors and how you incorporated the "m" in the fork.

I think that it would look better without the shadows, just plain colour.

CIA headquarters primary target, says the militant group
Within days of the failure to hold talks in Doha, Taliban has carried out an audacious strike in Kabul's high-security zone, sending a clear message to the U.S. and the Afghan governments that it has indicated its willingness for a dialogue from a position of strength.
The attack began in the early hours on Tuesday when at least two vehicles, both Toyota Land Cruisers, approached the entrance to the zone, which housed the presidential palace, the Ariana hotel which is the CIA headquarters in Afghanistan, the Defence Ministry and headquarters of the multinational International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
The first vehicle bearing an ISAF emblem, and whose occupants wore uniforms and badges of the international troops, managed to pass. However, the second car was stopped at the barrier, as suspicion mounted among the guards that its entry pass was fake.
The strike that followed continued for about two hours, said Kabul's police chief Ayub Salangi.
Of the four attackers on a suicide mission, one blew himself up, while the rest were killed by private security forces attached to Ariana Hotel.
A statement posted on the Taliban website said the "CIA headquarter [was] the primary target of the operation". Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid asserted that the "martyrdom attack" targeted "the most heavily-fortified strategic points at the heart of Afghan capital".
It follows the Taliban's failure to mount a propaganda coup by holding talks with the U.S. and the Afghan representatives at their newly opened office in Doha.
But a furious Afghan government, citing contested sovereignty, refused to participate after the Taliban unfurled their flag and claimed that the office in Doha belonged to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
After three calls earlier to Mr. Karzai by U.S. Secretary of the State John Kerry, the U.S. has accelerated its drive for damage control. James Dobbins, U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, who arrived in Kabul, clarified that just as Mr. Karzai, the Americans were also upset by the trappings of sovereignty that the Taliban had demonstrated. He added that the Taliban's attempt to mount a "propaganda victory" had misfired.
"I think it may have been a combination of misunderstanding and a desire for a certain propaganda victory, which I think turned out to be —from their standpoint — disappointing."

NY Canadian Power Plan Could Expand
A key lawmaker on energy policy says a company planning to run a transmission line to send New York City lower-cost Canadian electricity will also explore sharing that line with upstate utilities.
Meanwhile, western New York Republicans are criticizing the plan for the line under Lake Champlain and the Hudson River, saying upstate energy production should be expanded before relying on Canadian power.
Assembly Energy Committee Chairman Kevin Cahill released a letter to The Associated Press that says Transmission Developers Inc. has agreed to look at creating branches of the power line that could provide upstate power producers and wind farms a way to sell power to New York City.
But Republican Sen. George Maziarz of hydropower-rich Niagara County says Friday the focus should be on expanding upstate energy capacity.

NIKE AIR MAX 1 "HYPERFUSE" sample..
... love the idea that Nike is trying to use some of the materials and designs from other popular sneakers and integrate it into another classic sneaker model. The Nike Air Max 1 is already a top favorite when it comes to Air Maxes in general, why not try out some new things.. I fxcks with these, maybe not this exact colorway too much, but I cant wait to see what other colorways Nike will have in store for these. I dunno if a lot of you have tried on the Nike Hyperfuses yet, but them shxt's are extremely comfortable and have that perfect mesh material for you feet to breathe.

LACOSTE L!VE premier...
... I never really understood the reason why people stopped fxckin with the Lacoste brand. I mean, I cant front, at the end of the day.. POLO runs the polo game, HANDS DOWN ! But Lacoste was always the alternative, especially when we was all tryna do different things and gain separate identity. They always had the crisp polo game, with the ill patterns and colors that you could find with POLO because of their limited choice in colors.. and you know what I mean when I say polo has limited colors. Damn near all of their polo's have the same colors and patterns. But Lacoste is different, and hopefully they can gain that old buzz that they had going on by launching this Lacoste L!VE brand. I love the patterns and little detailing to the polos.. and those hard denims.. need I say more! Be sure to check out their website if your interested in copping any of these things.

Geoffrey Rush, left, and Sophie Nelisse in a scene from "The Book Thief," about a girl who loves books. Jules Heath AP
- Filed Under
Geoffrey Rush's character is getting serious Nazi pressure in this deleted scene from The Book Thief.
The 2013 film, which comes out on Blu-Ray/DVD March 11, features Rush as Hans Hubermann, a kind, uneducated German man who takes in a young girl Liesel, (Sophie Nélisse) during Nazi Germany.
Rush's character does his best not to join the Nazi party, despite subtle and not-so-subtle pressure.
"My character Hans is a very simple man," Rush tells USA TODAY. "And he cannot get work since he is part of the 1/10 of the population who wasn't so keen on what the socialists were doing for the country. So he kind of finds a way out of joining the party which is kind of a stigma for him."
This comes to a head in this scene which features Nazi officials menacing Hans to join the party. Hans is taking a break on his accordion since he is not able to find sign work due to his lack of integration.
When Hans points out that he is too stupid to figure out the Nazi paper work, one Nazi officer replies: "Well, I hope you're not that stupid."
The film also stars Emily Watson as Rush's screen wife. The two German foster parents care for Liesel, who finds joy in stealing forbidden books. They also hide a young Jewish man (Ben Schnetzer) in their working-class home.

Dior Rose Brazilia Bronze Harmony Blush ($42.00) is new for summer from Dior. Rose Brazilia accompanied Coral Riviera, which I absolutely loved. Rose Brazilia is rosy shade of blush with a touch of peachiness to it. It has more warmth than I expected, but I'm quite content with the results! The shimmery gold flecks are an overlay, so they do not go through the blush itself. I do feel the blush has a bit of sheen/tiny shimmer throughout, so it isn't a matte blush–just not filled with lots of shimmery bits. This is a great blush for everyday, natural looks, and just an overall nice piece to add to my blush collection.
See close-ups and swatches! Continue reading →

After disastrous start, QB Craft sparks UCLA's upset victory over Tennessee
PASADENA, Calif. -- All of a sudden these West Coast openers don't seem like such a good idea.
The script was different from 2007 but the ending the same for Tennessee.
A year ago, UT came out on the short end of a 45-31 fireworks show at California.
This time, with a crowd of 68,546 watching at the Rose Bowl, UCLA scored a 27-24 upset Monday when Daniel Lincoln's 34-yard field goal sailed wide in overtime.
The 18th-ranked Vols (0-1) were a touchdown favorite but made too many mistakes to put away the pesky Bruins.
Tennessee barely got to overtime, as Lincoln hit a 47-yard field goal as time expired.
UCLA went first in the extra session and took a 27-24 lead on Kai Forbath's 42-yard field goal.
The Vols were forced to kick for the tie when Jonathan Crompton was tackled short of a first down on a scramble to the 17.
Lincoln, who had already missed two long field goals in regulation, missed again.
UCLA appeared to have notched the upset in regulation when Kevin Craft passed 3 yards to Ryan Moya for a touchdown with 27 seconds to play that put the Bruins ahead 24-21.
Craft, who threw four interceptions and totaled 66 yards in the opening half of his first game for UCLA, went 18-of-25 for 193 yards and one touchdown in the second half without an interception.
Montario Hardesty scored two touchdowns for the Vols, the second a 20-yard run with 1:54 to put UT ahead 21-17.
Hardesty scored on an 11-yard run in the first half and Nevin McKenzie returned a Craft interception 61 yards for a touchdown just before haltime.
UCLA got on the scoreboard first returning a blocked Chad Cunningham punt 17 yards for a touchdown.
Coming into the second half with a 14-7 lead, its defense seemingly in control of the game, it wasn't too early for Tennessee to start thinking another touchdown might be a knockout punch.
The Vols were on the verge, driving to the UCLA 6 on their opening possession of the third quarter.
It was not to be. Arian Foster fumbled the ball and the Bruins recovered.
UCLA not only dodged the knockout, the Bruins' offense came to life long enough to drive for a 41-yard Forbath field goal.
When the fourth quarter began, Tennessee's lead had shrunk to 14-10 instead of growing.
Next, Gerald Jones' 33-yard punt return set up the Vols only 26 yards from the end zone.
Instead of going forward, they went backward when Crompton was sacked. That's when the real drama began, with the teams trading leads.
The first half was a comedy of errors, though it's doubtful either coaching staff was laughing.
While Craft was throwing his interceptions, Crompton threw one of his own, fumbled a snap and was baited into a couple of false starts by UCLA's defensive movement.
But none of those was Tennessee's biggest gaffe.
With the first quarter winding down toward a scoreless tie, the Vols broke down in the punting game.
Facing fourth-and-6 at their 37 after two Crompton incompletions, Chad Cunningham dropped into punt formation from his 37.
UCLA's Akeem Ayers led a charge of Bruins that blocked the punt and Westgate scooped up the ball and returned it 17 yards to the end zone.
The Bruins led 7-0 with 1:15 to go in the quarter.
Tennessee roared back with its only sustained drive of the half, moving 80 yards in nine plays.
Crompton ended a string of six incomplete passes when he connected with Jones for 10 yards to convert a third down into UCLA territory.
After consecutive false starts, Crompton found Josh Briscoe deep for 41 yards to the UCLA 11.
On the next play, Hardesty motored to his left unimpeded into the end zone for Tennessee's first score.
Crompton's interception gave UCLA the ball at the Tennessee 46, but the Vols wouldn't budge.
An exchange of punts left the ball on UT's side of the field but Eric Berry's interception and the Tennessee drive that followed at least changed field position.
Lincoln's second missed field-goal try, this one of 55 yards, left the Bruins 1:19 to kill and they should have done just that.

Great Lakes Symposium - Gauthier presentation
Recently retired as a Program Director for the Great Lakes Commission after 8 years of service, Roger Gauthier gave this terrific presentation at our Great Lakes Symposium (April 8, 2011 in Port Huron, Michigan). The title of the presentation is: Great Lakes Levels and Flows.
The material included is wholistic as to patterns & influences on the Great Lakes water levels. Gauthier's conclusions are hard-hitting: the sustained low lake levels in lakes Michigan, Huron & Georgian Bay are neither natural nor inevitable. And the choice to keep these lakes low is having negative economic and environmental effects.

Stent grafting for aneurysmal degeneration of chronic descending thoracic aortic dissections. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22244358 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the results of thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) for chronic descending thoracic aortic (DTA) dissections with aneurysmal degeneration. METHODS: Over 70 months at a single institution, 27 patients underwent TEVAR for aneurysms related to chronic (>6 weeks) DTA dissections. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 67.5 ± 9.6 years; 18 were men. Primary indications for repair were aneurysm size (n = 20), rapid aneurysmal growth (n = 5), saccular aneurysm (n = 1), and rupture (n = 1). Preoperative false lumen status was patent in 18 patients, partially thrombosed in 8 patients, and unknown in the patient whose aneurysm ruptured. The proximal entry tear was covered in all 27 patients. Fourteen patients required coverage of the left subclavian artery, of which 9 patients underwent prophylactic revascularization. On completion angiogram, no patient had antegrade perfusion of the aneurysmal false lumen. There were three procedural complications: 2 patients sustained paraparesis (one resolved and one improved), and 1 patient had an access injury requiring stent graft placement. Thirty-day mortality was 3.7% (1 of 27); the one death was in the patient whose aneurysm ruptured. Of the 26 surviving patients, 23 (88.5%) had thrombosis of the aneurysmal false lumen. Twenty-two patients (84.6%) had stability or decrease in maximal aneurysm diameter on last radiographic follow-up at 18 ± 20 months. Three-year Kaplan-Meier survival was 90.3% ± 6.5% in the 26 patients who survived to hospital discharge, with a mean follow-up of 27.3 ± 22.1 months. In patients with preoperatively partially thrombosed false lumens (n = 8), 3-year survival was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR for aneurysms due to chronic dissections of the DTA can be performed safely and effectively at midterm follow-up according to this single-institution study. Stent graft therapy may be of particular benefit in patients presenting with partially thrombosed false lumens. |

Closing Move, a 3-year-old Bernardini filly from Darley's racing stable, brought $100,000 Tuesday at Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga mixed and racing-age sale, where she was the most expensive horse at an auction whose debut was marred by a 41 percent buy-back rate.
The one-day sale in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., sold 119 horses for $1,933,600, resulting in an average price of $16,249 and a $12,000 median.
Tom Voss bought Closing Move, a Darley homebred. The bay filly is out of the Storm Cat mare Show Me the Roses, a three-quarter-sister to former juvenile champion and Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Johannesburg. Closing Move's best performances so far were a pair of seconds in maiden special weights in November 2011 and February 2012. Her 4-year-old full brother, Opening Move, has earned more than $80,000 to date.
A pair of weanlings from Munnings's first crop were the auction's top weanlings. Bernard Stables paid $67,000 for the Munnings daughter of That's Ok, a full sister to Spinaway runner-up Forever Partners. Vinery Sales sold the chestnut filly, a Feb. 24 foal. Earlier in the session, a Munnings colt out of Nice Kitty Kitty, by Forest Wildcat, fetched a $57,000 bid from buyer Mill Creek Farm, agent. He is a March 26 foal and a half-brother to Canadian winner Pure Blue. The family also includes graded winner Dancinginherdream and recent juvenile stakes-winner Doubled. Vinery also sold the $57,000 colt.
Only two of the top 15 prices were for mares. The top-priced broodmare was $55,000 Song of Broadway, a 5-year-old Tiznow mare carrying a May foal by Freud. A three-time winner, Song of Broadway is out of stakes-winner Morning Sun, by Dehere, and sold to Anthony Muiccio. Darby Dan Farm, agent, was the consignor.

Australian Twenty20 specialist Brad Hodge is one of the new names among three changes in the Auckland side to play their first HRV Cup game of the season against Wellington at Westpac Stadium on Friday night.
The two other players to come into the 12 named for Friday's game are pace bowler Lockie Ferguson and middle order batsman Dusan Hakaraia.
Hodge will make the briefest of appearances for the Aces as he flies in and out for just this game.
Aces coach Paul Strang is looking forward to having the quality of Hodge available and is hoping that the recent diet of Twenty20 cricket the Aces had at the Champions League will stand them in good stead.
"Switching back and forth between the formats is part and parcel of professional cricket these days but I think the fact that we've recently been in the mindset of what we want to do in T20 will allow us to get back into the right patterns very quickly," Strang said.
Auckland (from): Gareth Hopkins (Captain), Michael Bates, Craig Cachopa, Colin de Grandhomme, Lockie Ferguson, Dusan Hakaraia, Brad Hodge, Mitchell McClenaghan, Bruce Martin, Colin Munro, Bhupinder Singh, Lou Vincent.

Picking the Dollar's Bottom Can Be Dirty Business
- Posted by Greg Harmon
- on June 24th, 2011
The US Dollar Index has been bouncing in a range for the last 3 months. This has many getting aggressive in calling a bottom that coincides with the end of Quantitative Easing. But despite the childish humor, picking a bottom can be dirty business. Let's take a look at the US Dollar Index and see if this is a clean call or likely to be a bit messy.
Looking at the daily chart of the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (ticker: $UUP) below there are several signs that a broad bottoming process may be taking place. The Bollinger bands
have moved from a downward trend to a sideways consolidation. There also appears to be a 'W' pattern forming, highlighted in green. For the 'W' to play out it needs to get over 21.90. But notice that so far the highs have been lower and the lows have been higher. The other indicators are a bit mixed also signaling some consolidation or indecision. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also making lower highs and higher lows while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is doing the same. What about a longer timeframe to get some perspective.
Using the US Dollar Index (ticker: $DX_F) weekly chart above is not quite as promising. It shows that the downtrend is from a double top over 88 from early 2010. It also shows two imbedded Head and Shoulders top patterns with downside targets of of 71.75 and 59.80. The move off of the congestion area from 72-73 in May could be interpreted as heading higher to retest the neckline of the Head and Shoulders pattern. It has some momentum behind it with the rising RSI and the increasing MACD, but it would be difficult to call the downtrend dead until it gets over the neckline just over 77. All of the SMA"s are sloping lower! On a monthly basis the US Dollar Index is also not
out of the woods. The chart shows that the Index broke down out of a symmetrical triangle after a long fall, leading to an expectation of a continuation lower. It often happens that these breakdowns are retested before a major move is made, and it looks like that retest is about to happen. This is the same level as the weekly chart, just over 77. A rejection at the rail certainly means that the bottom is not it for the US Dollar Index. But a move through the rail also does not mean a bottom has been found long term. Until it gets through the top rail at 87.50 and then the previous high at 88.51 there is no sense in talking about or picking any bottom. If you do, keep the wipes handy, it can still explode lower. Hey, its Friday.

Simpson allays fears after attack
Newcastle defender Danny Simpson said he is "okay" after footage was posted online showing him apparently unconscious and bleeding in the street.
The 26-year-old full-back was on a night out in his home city of Manchester when he was allegedly caught up in a fight.
Footage showed the ex-Manchester United player bleeding from the mouth and lying in the street outside a takeaway.
Some people nearby stopped to help and put him in the recovery position. One is heard saying: "Call the police," while a woman says: "There's blood coming out of his mouth."
At least two people were filming the scene on mobile phones.
Another witness can be heard on the film saying: "Someone has just absolutely battered him."
According to reports, he had been punched to the ground, and was later taken to hospital.
The player seemed to back up the story when he tweeted: "For the record im okay, 2 on 1 well done!"
He also sent his bodybuilder father, Peter Samms, a message on Twitter saying: "where was you lol... For the record im okay."
Simpson's profile has been raised since he started dating X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
Police were not thought to be investigating the 4am incident.
Newcastle United did not want to comment.

Quantum computers to simulate particle collisions
Quantum computers may still be years away, but that hasn't stopped scientists from figuring out at least one potential use for the advanced systems.
According to a trio of theorists, including one from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), physicists might one day harness the raw horsepower of quantum computers to study the inner workings of the universe in ways that are far beyond the reach of even the most powerful conventional supercomputers.
Although quantum computers require technology that might not be perfected for decades, they still hold significant potential for solving complex problems.
Indeed, the switches in their processors will take advantage of quantum mechanics (quantum switches exist in both on and off states simultaneously), allowing them to consider all possible solutions to a problem at once.
This unique capability, far beyond the realm of current HPC computing, could enable quantum systems to solve conventional problems such as breaking complex codes rather quickly. But they could also be used to analyze more challenging and complex problems.
"We have this theoretical model of the quantum computer, and one of the big questions is, what physical processes that occur in nature can that model represent efficiently?" said Stephen Jordan, a theorist in NIST's Applied and Computational Mathematics Division. "Maybe particle collisions, maybe the early universe after the Big Bang? Can we use a quantum computer to simulate them and tell us what to expect?"
Questions like these involve tracking the interaction of many different elements, a situation that rapidly becomes too complicated for today's most powerful computers.
As such, the team developed an algorithm that can run on any functioning quantum computer - regardless of the specific technology that will eventually be used to build it. The algorithm would simulate all the possible interactions between two elementary particles colliding with each other, something that currently requires years of effort and a large accelerator to study.
As noted above, simulating such collisions is challenging for today's digital computers as the quantum state of the colliding particles is quite complex and difficult to represent accurately with a feasible number of bits. The team's algorithm, however, encodes the information that describes this quantum state far more efficiently using an array of quantum switches, making the computation far more reasonable.
Essentially, the team used the principles of quantum mechanics to prove their algorithm was sufficiently capable of summing up the effects of the interactions between colliding particles, which would allow it to generate the sort of data rendered by an accelerator.
"What's nice about the simulation is that you can raise the complexity of the problem by increasing the energy of the particles and collisions, but the difficulty of solving the problem does not increase so fast that it becomes unmanageable," Caltech's Professor John Preskill says. "It means a quantum computer could handle it feasibly."
Though their algorithm only addresses one specific type of collision, the team speculates their work could be used to explore the entire theoretical foundation on which fundamental physics rests.
"We believe this work could apply to the entire standard model of physics... It could allow quantum computers to serve as a sort of wind tunnel for testing ideas that often require accelerators today," Jordan added.

Apple's new Mac Pro aims for one thing: to impress. The latest computing device is a sight to behold. Featuring an excellent cylindrical design, the new Mac Pro will satisfy most users. The device sets a standard on its own. The device is no bigger than a football. Slightly dented at the top similar to a jet engine, it is a compact as it comes. Under the hood, it is just as impressive. Users particular of their computing speed will find the device an excellent choice.
The basic version of the Mac Pro is powered by a 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 processor with 16 GB 1897 MHz DDR3 RAM. It has dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards with 2 GB of RAM each, 256 GB SSD, 6 Thunderbolt 2.0 ports, 4 USB 3.0 ports and 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0. Its manufacturer's suggested retail price is $2,999.
Aside from being the fastest Mac around, the design of the Mac Pro can complete a room's interior. It has an appealing frame that most people will love. However, it is costly and users may need to bring their own screen.
There are mixed opinions about the design of the Mac Pro. Some called out its similarities to Darth Vader's popular look. Others go as far as saying it is a "trash can" Mac for its appearance. While it may not be the most original concept around, users who have it placed on their desks tell a different story. The aluminium surface is reflective but not shiny. It provides a sense of assurance to the users of what it can do. In all, Mac Pro's look is futuristic.
Users working with their computers all the time will find the Mac Pro a thought-based device. This means every input action literally has an immediate response. The device comes with dual workstation GPUs, super-fast PCIe-based SSD and Xeon processor. These all reassure people of its speed and computing power - far better than any Mac around yet.
The device caters to film makers. It is a professional machine that allows users to create 3-D animations, elaborate graphics and even feature-length films. Even the most demanding photographers will find it just right for their taste. The Mac Pro makes batch processing huge files and extreme resolutions easy. For those looking for a high-powered computer and willing to spend money, this is the right choice.

By Sharon Purcell, PT
Expectations are a funny thing; even when you think you are keeping an open mind, it is impossible to come to a situation completely without expectations. And even when you accept that you don't know what to expect, you unconsciously plan based on the framework of past experience. The life you have lived forms a framework of consciousness you cannot erase.
While getting ready for 2 weeks of physical therapy aid in Haiti, I felt ready to be flexible and open to doing whatever was needed. But as soon as I got there, I saw signs of my own framework of experience.
Also New This Update
Surprising Conditions When I learned that Spaulding Rehab Network had selected me to be one of the first three therapists to serve in Haiti, I was told we would be working at Haiti's State University Hospital: Hopital Universite d'Etat d'Haiti (HUEH), the largest public hospital in Haiti. We were told our role would be to support the staff in whatever way we could, as their lives had been so traumatically upended by the earthquake. Despite "having no expectations," my mind unconsciously supplied an idea of "hospital," both in structure and routines.
Upon arrival, I found a hospital where only one building was safe enough to house patients. The hospital had sustained significant damage in the earthquake: more than 50 percent of the campus buildings could not safely be used. The ruins of the nursing school (in which an entire class of nurses was crushed while taking an exam when the earthquake struck) still stood as a stark reminder of all that had been lost. Except for the patients in the internal medicine building, all other care was provided in tents: ICU, maternity, pediatrics, ER, infectious disease, post-op and general care. Nurses were in short supply, and most of the current staff of HUEH no longer had homes; they were now residents of tent cities that had become a ubiquitous part of the city's landscape. Partners In Health (PIH) and International Medical Corps were providing nurse and doctor coverage of ICU, ER, overnight shifts of internal medicine, and pediatrics.

The rules I knew of hospital care did not apply here: there was no referral system for those who needed therapy; the patients' medical records were sheets of paper taped together and guarded by each patient under his or her pillow--sometimes with X-ray films, as well. Because of the international nature of initial relief efforts, chart entries were a mix of English, French
and some Spanish. I learned that the Haitian healthcare system expects patients to supply their own linens, and families care for hygiene needs. Many patients had families who now had few resources for clean linens, or even a sheet at all. Even though the hospital did have a supply of linens, they were not distributing them because the infrastructure to collect and launder them was completely debilitated. I was
happy to incorporate so much family teaching into treatments, but was shocked and saddened to see so many patients with one or more family members sleeping on cardboard under the patient's bed.
Mobilizing Patients
One patient with an inoperable open book pelvic fracture was thrilled to get out of bed for the first time since his car accident 22 days earlier. Daily, we dependently lifted him into a recliner (miraculously found by the team of therapists before us and stored in a secret location) and pushed him out of the tent to sit in the shade of a tree to socialize amidst the flow of hospital hubbub.
Another expectation stemmed from knowing the earthquake had left an estimated 12,000 Haitians with new amputations. In anticipation of treating many patients with amputations and victims of orthopedic traumas, I assembled several HEP (in both French and English, with pictures because I couldn't find anything in Creole) geared for amputees. I brought ACE wraps and Thera-Band, and even disposable instant ice packs. By the end, the only people who had needed the ice packs were me and my colleagues--to cool ourselves enough to sleep in hot tents at night!
I found that, while there are many new amputees in Haiti, they are not the focus of care at HUEH. There were many people with post-earthquake amputations, but the large majority of these were independent with mobility already. In speaking with the staff at PIH and other professionals in various aide organizations, I learned that in the weeks following the earthquake, trauma victims fell into two categories: either their injuries were so severe that they succumbed, or they survived and left the hospital--if they had a place to go. That is a very big "if."
There are many international aid organizations who have already stepped in to address the need for amputee rehab and supply prosthetics. The Albert Schweitzer Foundation and PIH are doing remarkable work at the PIH Hospital facility in Cange. The amputees still at HUEH were mostly there because they had nowhere else to go and/or no one left to help them. By the time I arrived, most of those patients were mobile and receiving daily gait training and TherEx from the staff of Handicap International. The only patient I had with an amputation was Francine, a woman in her late 60s whose BKA wound was infected. In the 2 weeks we were there, my occupational therapy partner (who speaks fluent Creole) successfully advocated for her debridement, and I helped her start transferring to a chair and hop with a walker very short distances.

For English majors minoring in film or journalism: Only two minor courses may be counted toward the English major.
Students should note that ENWR 105 College Writing I: Intellectual Prose and ENWR 106 College Writing II: Writing and Literary Study are prerequisites for all other English courses with the exception of ENFL courses and ENWR 100 Introduction to Writing.
